Did Spellcaster delete his account?

I dropped by to lurk earlier today and seeing this thread, decided I should give this another try. dB, I did receive your email and it was appreciated. I'm also grateful to all the members who contributed posts to this thread and made me feel as if I'd be welcome if I decided to come back.

I think there's an element of truth in the fact that the main things that were troubling me were related to the political forum and I'm going to try to stay clear of it at this point. To a certain extent, the fact that the Canadian election was interesting to me was the main reason I chose to be involved there, but I may have wandered into other topics as well, which clearly was a mistake. Of course, once I'd contributed to a thread over there, that thread showed up on the main page whenever I visited and checked the section at the top that showed updates on threads I'd participated in. Incidentally, the straw that broke that camel's back for me was at the bottom of the main page, listing a new topic from the political section that had a pretty raw heading with language that left me a bit disgusted. I made the mistake of clicking on it and found the content particularly unpleasant and that's when I bowed out of the forum. At this point, I'm just going to stay with the conventional guitar-related and conversational sections and stay out of the political section, but the administrator and moderators might want to rethink whether those political topics should be exposed to the average reader who comes here looking for guitar-related content.

I've missed being here. I regularly read and sometimes participate in TDPRI and Squier Talk, but I don't feel the closeness and friendship that I get from this place, and coming back is like coming home. So, I'm back, and I hope it's to stay this time.
